Conventional wisdom tells us that marriage was illegal for African Americans during the antebellum era, and that if people married at all, their vows were tenuous ones: "until death or distance do us part." It is an impression that imbues beliefs about black families to this day. But it's a perception primarily based on documents produced by abolitionists, the state, or other partisans. It doesn't tell the whole story. Drawing on a trove of less well-known sources including family histories, folk stories, memoirs, sermons, and especially the fascinating writings from the Afro-Protestant Press,'Til Death or Distance Do Us Part offers a radically different perspective on antebellum love and family life. Frances Smith Foster applies the knowledge she's developed over a lifetime of reading and thinking. Advocating both the potency of skepticism and the importance of story-telling, her book shows the way toward a more genuine, more affirmative understanding of African American romance, both then and now.

Martin Marietta Corporation was an American company founded in 1961 and was a leader in chemicals, aerospace, and electronics. In 1982, Bendix Corporation, headed by William Agee, made a hostile takeover bid, buying the majority of Martin shares and in effect owned the company. However, Martin Marietta's management used the short time separating ownership and control to sell non-core businesses and launch its own hostile takeover of Bendix. This became known as the Pac-Man defense. Thomas G. Pownall, CEO of Martin Marietta, was successful and the end of this bitter battle saw Martin Marietta survive; Bendix was bought by Allied Corporation. This book is based on interviews with the main participants.
